Types of Sports Injuries

Sports injuries are injuries that happen when people exercise or play sports. The most common types of sports injuries are sprains, strains, knee injuries, dislocations, and fractures. Acute traumatic injuries include things like sprains, strains, cuts, and fractures. Overuse injuries include things like stress fractures. These injuries may happen over time, usually from repetitive training, like serving a volleyball or throwing a football. 

Causes of Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can result from a number of different causes. Sports injuries can be caused by a number of different factors. Improper gear, poor training methods, and accidents can lead to sports injuries. Not warming up or stretching before exercising or playing sports can also cause sports injuries. Martial arts, basketball, football, boxing, and hockey carry the highest risk, but non-contact sports also carry risk. 

Preventing Sports Injuries

Athletes need to rest between practices, events, and games. A lack of sleep and muscle fatigue predisposes athletes to sports injuries. Stretching an important prevention technique that should become habit for all athletes before starting activities or playing sports. Protective equipment, like helmets, pads, and shoes are also important for injury prevention.

Sports Injury Diagnosis

A proper diagnosis is key to treating an injury. Your podiatrist will start with a physical examination, with attention given to the areas of complaint. You will also go through your medical history with your doctor and he or she may order x-rays or other imaging tests to confirm a diagnosis. 

Treatments for Sports Injuries

Your doctor will develop a treatment plan that may combine more than one type of treatment, depending on your specific needs. Some common treatments for sports injuries include medication, physical therapy, steroid injections, ice and heat, orthopedic casts, splints, and range of motion exercises. Your doctor may recommend surgery for your injury if your symptoms are severe enough.
